Brake delay

Post by djm666 »

I have has this BX for a while and well the brakes are good, but not as good as my other ones I have had. It seems like it takes a second to brake once brakes are applied. I have not even started looking into it yet but I will this weekend. Think I will give them a bleed and see where ghat gets me. If anyone has any ideas then that would be lovely

It could just be me being fussy. But my other BX tht has done astronomical mileage has the better brakes. So I will end her life and take everything to this BX. Will bleed brakes then if that is to no avail I start chomping into it.

A delay is the usual symptom of air in the brake lines.

And the ABS system. Does one car have ABS and the other not per chance?
